GROSCHOPP ENGINEERS
TAKE ON THE ‘TOUGH JOBS’
When choosing a Groschopp fractional
horsepower gearmotor you’re doing
more than buying a high quality product,
you also receive exceptional customer service and
the expertise of Groschopp’s full service engineering department.
The Groschopp engineering department is comprised of 16 technical personnel coming from diverse
educational and industrial backgrounds; our engineers have many areas of expertise:
• Electric Motor Design
• Advanced Manufacturing Techniques
• Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T)
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Heat Treatment Techniques
• Bearing Specification
• Brush Optimization
• Gear Design
• Shaft Design
• Casting and Mold Design
“I feel that our engineering department focuses on not only providing our customers with a product, but also
providing solutions to their problems” comments Applications Engineer John Felkhacker. “We do our best to
fully understand the customer’s application in order to provide feedback and suggest alternative options.”
Groschopp strongly believes investing in our employee’s knowledge allows us to stay up-to-date with technologies,
new theories of design, and implementation of new materials, people and capital. “In general we have
found it is important to belong to organizations where networking and peer-to-peer learning is encouraged
and where technologies and breakthroughs are taking place” notes Groschopp President Ron Didier. Industry
organizations include the SMMA (The Motor and Motion Association) and the AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers
Association). Another part of continuing education involves visiting and interacting with suppliers and
customers. This type of interaction allows Groschopp engineers to observe the manufacturer’s protocols and
design processes, giving them the insight they need to develop custom solutions.
Thanks to Groschopp’s well-learned and ambitious engineers we are willing to take on “tough
jobs” – the projects where solutions are not readily apparent. Some projects have very
stringent specifications; others are built from a “blank page,” completely custom design.
By taking on these seemingly unsolvable challenges, our engineers have built up an extensive
knowledge base. We are willing to look at non-standard solutions, different
materials, or a different manufacturing process to complete any “tough job”.
At Groschopp, developing solutions for “tough jobs” is much easier due to our
sophisticated testing facilities. “Having the right tools to do the job is essential to finding
the right solution,” stresses Didier. “When new ideas are evaluated it is imperative to have testing
facilities that will provide a resolution in results that validate the idea.” We feel that our testing facilities,
because of size, equipment, and procedures, set us apart from most motor manufacturers. Didier
ends by saying “Groschopp is willing to go to almost any means necessary to make sure our customers
receive a great solution, a great product, and great service” |
